Hi,

There is something on that computer which is blocking the shutdown process, as the log says.

Hi,

Try: shutdown.exe /s /f

Hi,

Can you create a batch file to shutdown the computer?
If yes, please use that batch file in Backup Properties->Advanced page, under "Run program/action after backup" section.
Do you still have the problem?

Hi,

Please open Backup Properties->Type page.
Select the "Incremental" backup type.
Go to "Storage" page and select the option: "Yes, limit number of file versions".
Set the limit at 3 and press Save.

Next time when you'll run the backup, the limit will be applied.

You should be able to use Backup4all with Wasabi (as Amazon S3 compatible destination).

Does it works?

Hi,

Yes, that is correct.
Backup4all cannot restore files and folders copied in destination by another applications.
It will restore only the files it backed up.

Hi,

In the first description you said the destination is an USB drive. That is why I gave you that solution.
If the backup job destination is a SFTP server, that solution does not work, as you cannot select sources from SFTP.
